Chain Nose Pliers

Chain nose pliers are a necessary staple in any beader's tool box. These useful pliers have flat jaws that taper to a point and are used to grip and bend wire. Unlike the pliers you may be borrowing from the family tool box, jewelry pliers have a smooth finish that won't mar your wire.
